Through my years of being a Harry Potter nerd, I have discovered that Harry Potter wikia is an extremely useful tool.

Pronunciation: Various suggestions have been made:
['ɑkkio] (AK-ee-o) - English (film)
['ɑksio] (AK-see-o) - (audio-book)
['accio] (A-see-o) - English (film)
Accio Portkey
Added by Seth Cooper
Description: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance. It can be used in two ways: by casting the charm, and then naming the object desired ("Accio Firebolt"), or by pointing the wand at the desired object during or immediately following the incantation to "pull" it toward the user. In either case, the caster must concentrate upon the object they wish to summon in order for the charm to succeed. The caster doesn't necessarily need to know the location if they say the name of the object to be summoned. This is proven when Hermione Granger explains in 1997 that she summoned the Horcrux books from Dumbledore's office by merely saying "Accio Horcrux books!" while in Gryffindor Tower.
Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter summoned his broom to complete the first task of the Triwizard Tournament in 1994, as well as to summon the Portkey to escape Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters in the Little Hangleton Graveyard in 1995. It failed to summon Horcruxes in 1997, and Harry failed to summon a falling Rubeus Hagrid. It was also used as a quicker way to find objects in Hermione's depth-enlarged beaded handbag, and was used as a quick and effective way of fishing ("Accio salmon").
Notes The summoning charm is limited only to items and small animals, as it has been shown incapable to summon people. And it is still possible for items to be enchanted so as to be impossible to summon, like Horcruxes and Harry's Cloak of Invisibility.
Etymology: The Latin word accio means "I call" or "I summon".
(Age-Line Spell)Edit
The age line surrounding the Goblet of fire
Added by Cavalier One
Pronunciation:Unknown
Description: Creates a line that is impassable by people below a set age.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore to stop under-age students from entering their names into the Goblet of Fire.
Notes: The Age-Line is impassable even by users of age-potions (proven by Fred and George Weasley). Thus, it functions on either calendar or mental age, not physical age.
AguamentiEdit
Aguamenti
Added by Mario142369
Pronunciation: AH-gua-MEN-tee
Description: Produces a jet of water from the tip of a wand.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Fleur Delacour in 1994 to put out her skirt, which had caught fire during her challenge against a dragon. Harry used it twice in 1997: Once in an attempt to give Dumbledore a drink in the Horcrux cave, which did not work, and again to douse Hagrid's hut after it was set on fire by Thorfinn Rowle using the spell Incendio.
Etymology: Possibly an extension of Spanish words agua (aqua) ("water") and mente ("mind").
Alarte AscendareEdit
Alarte Ascendare used by Gilderoy Lockhart to launch a snake into the air in the Duelling Club.
Added by Dumbledorefan
Pronunciation: A-LAR-tey ah-SEN-deh-Rey
Description: Shoots an object or creature into the air
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Gilderoy Lockhart at the Duelling Club in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Etymology: Ascendare is a Latin verb meaning 'to climb' or 'to ascend'.
(Albus Dumbledore's forceful spell)Edit
Description: This spell was told to be very very powerful since when Dumbledore casts this spell, Voldemort can't bear the power of it so he conjures a silver shield to deflect it. When the spell hits the shield, 'a deep, gong-like note reverberated from it-an oddly chilling sound'.
Seen/Mentioned: This spell was seen once used by Dumbledore in the Ministry of Magic, during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries on 17 June, 1996, while he duels with Voldemort.
AlohomoraEdit
Alohomora used by Hermione in 1991.
Added by Dumbledorefan
Pronunciation: al-lu-ha-MOR-ah or aluh-huh-MORA (video games)
Description: Used to open and unlock doors. It is not effective on doors bewitched to resist this spell. The spell can also unseal doors upon which the Colloportus spell has been cast.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger in 1991 on the forbidden Third Floor Corridor door at Hogwarts, and, in the Prisoner of Azkaban book, to unlock Sirius's cell in Azkaban.
Etymology: Alohomora is derived from the West African Sidiki dialect used in geomancy meaning: Friendly to thieves as stated by J.K. Rowling in testimony during the WB and JKR vs. RDR Books. [1]
Notes: In the books, when Alohomora is used, the lock/door must be tapped three times.
AnapneoEdit
Pronunciation: ah-NAP-nee-oh
Description: Clears the target's airway if it is blocked.
Seen/Mentioned: Professor Slughorn cast this on Marcus Belby when he choked in 1996.
Etymology: From the Greek verb anapneo, "I breathe in". Compare apnea. Anapneo and Episkey are the first spells obviously derived from Greek.
(Anti-Jinx)Edit
Description: An Anti-Jinx is a type of spell that prevents the effects of a jinx over one target object or animal.
Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Anteoculatia (Antler spell)Edit
Pronunciation: an-TAY-oh-KYOO-lay-shuh
Description: Anteoculatia is a hex that turns a person's hair into antlers.
Seen/Mentioned: It can be bought at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
Notes: This may be the incantation of the spell that was used to make Pansy Parkinson grow antlers in 1996.
(Anti-Cheating spell)Edit
Pronunciation:Unknown
Description: Cast on parchment to prevent the writer from cheating while writing answers.
Seen/Mentioned: Near exam times at Hogwarts.
(Anti-Disapparition Jinx)Edit
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Used to prevent Disapparition in an area for a time. Presumably can be used to prevent an enemy from entering a defended area, or used to trap an enemy in an area.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore in 1996 during the Death Eater attack on the Department of Mysteries. It is also mentioned that no one can apparate in the Hogwarts premises. It is due to this jinx.
(Antonin Dolohov's curse)Edit
Antonin Dolohov using his spell.
Added by Wiki Volunteer
Pronunciation: Unknown
Description: Causes severe internal injury; potentially lethal. The exact effects are unknown, but because of its danger, it is probably a Dark curse.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Death Eater Antonin Dolohov during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He severely injured Hermione Granger with this curse; she was incapacitated instantly and had to take ten potions every day for some time in order to recover.
Notes: This curse is less effective when used non-verbally, but it still causes significant harm, at least when used by an accomplished caster. Also, Hermione had the added benefit of a hastily cast Shield Charm by Harry Potter which may have also lessened the damage caused.(could be the incantation "axelo")
ApareciumEdit
Pronunciation: AH-par-EE-see-um
Description: This spell makes invisible ink, and perhaps invisible items in general, appear.
Seen/Mentioned: First used in 1993, when Hermione Granger tried to make any hidden writing appear in Tom Riddle's Diary.
Etymology: Latin apparere, "to appear"; -ium and -cium are common Latin noun endings.
Notes: See also Specialis Revelio.
(Apparation)Edit
Remus Lupin apparating
Added by Patr0nus
Description: Causes the user to magically teleport from one place to another. It is imprecise over long distances. A license is needed to perform on one's own at the age of 17. If done incorrectly, the user can splinch themselves, causing a part of their body to be separated and left behind.
Seen/Mentioned: Used throughout the series. Harry and his classmates took Apparition Class in 1997.
Notes: No incantation, Hand Movement: Turn on the spot while remembering the 3 D's, which stand for destination, determination and deliberation.
Aqua EructoEdit
Added by Patr0nus
Description: Aqua Eructo is a spell used to create a jet of clear water, and then control it.
Seen/Mentioned: from the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Etymology: "Aqua" means, in Latin, "Water". "Eructo" is the verb "I raise". "Aqua Eructo" means, roughly translated: "I Raise Water"
Arania ExumaiEdit
Added by Smonocco
Pronunciation: ah-rahn-ee-a eks-su-may
Description: The Spider-killing Curse is a spell used to kill or, at least, blast back Acromantulas or other large spider species.
Seen/Mentioned: Harry uses this in the Forbidden Forest against the attacking Acromantulas in the film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. He learned this from Tom Marvolo Riddle, who attempted to use it against Aragog in the memory Harry visits.
Etymology: From the Latin aranea, meaning “spider”, and exuo, meaning “I lay aside”.
Aresto MomentumEdit
Dumbledore saving Harry Potter.
Added by Smonocco
Pronunciation: ah-REST-oh mo-MEN-tum
Description: Used to slow down an object or being that is moving. It should be noted that it can be used in multiple targets and in the caster himself.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Dumbledore to save Harry Potter from a fall in the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was used again by Hermione Granger to cushion an otherwise deadly fall of her and four others in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Etymology: Likely the combination of two words; the Anglo-French arester, meaning "To bring to a stop", and the Latin Momentum, meaning "The force or strength gained whilst moving." Literal translation: "Bring its momentum to a stop."
(Armour-bewitching spell)Edit
Description: Causes suits of armour to sing carols.
Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used by the staff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to bewitch suits of armour so that they sang Christmas carols whenever someone walked past during the Christmas season in 1994.
(Arrow-shooting spell)Edit
Description: Fires arrows from the caster's wand.
Seen/Mentioned: The spell was usually used by Appleby Arrows supporters at Quidditch matches to show their support for their teams, however, the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters banned the use of the spell at matches when referee Nugent Potts was pierced through the nose with a stray arrow in 1894.
AscendioEdit
Added by Smonocco
Pronunciation: Ah-SEN-DI-oh
Description: Lifts the caster high into the air.
Seen/Mentioned: Used by Harry Potter in the Second Task to lift him to the surface of the water in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Etymology: Coming from Latin ascendo, meaning "to climb".[2]
Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse)Edit
Main article: Unforgivable Curses
Voldemort using the Killing Curse to murder Lily Potter.
Added by KickAssJedi
Pronunciation: ah-VAH-dah keh-DAV-rah (IPA: /ə.'væ.də kə.'dæv.ɹə/)
Description: Causes a bright green flash and a rushing noise; the curse causes instant death to the victim. There is no known counter-curse or blocking spell (with the exception of the curse striking another spell mid-flight, negating both), although the caster can be interrupted, the victim can dodge the green jet, hide behind solid objects (which burst into flame when hit by it), or, if the casting wizard is not sufficiently competent, the curse may be completely ineffective as described by Barty Crouch Jr. (acting as Alastor Moody) in Goblet of Fire. Harry twice countered this spell by casting Expelliarmus. It is one of the three Unforgivable Curses; the punishment of the use of this spell on another human being is capital punishment or life sentence in Azkaban.
The magical conditions have also been documented to defeat the curse, even on a direct hit:
Harry Potter was given magical protection against Lord Voldemort's use of the curse, when his mother sacrificed herself to save him.
Harry is the only person in the history of the magical world to have ever survived a direct hit to the killing curse.
Harry is saved by the twin cores effect between his wand and Voldemort's during a duel, as well as during a
